It would seem, from your own description, that the problematic
issue had something to do with you, not necessarily ANS.  If you
can't do that in ANS, i.e., ' (tick) semicolon, how can you even
claim your program is ANS?  This seems to be an issue of perception
on your part.  I.e., you're correct, and the standard is wrong.
Others have been saying this to you already.  Does repeating your
perspective to a crowd which doesn't accept your perspective change
anything for you?  Unless you have some hidden agenda, this seems
to be a fruitless pursuit, i.e., like anyone replying to you.
